Frequently Asked Questions

ta.accdist is the Accumulation/Distribution line: a cumulative volume-based measure that weights volume by where the close sits within the bar range, then sums over time.

Rising A/D with rising price suggests confirming volume flow. If price rises but A/D falls (or the reverse), traders watch for possible weakness or hidden strength.

OBV adds or subtracts full volume by the sign of the close change. A/D scales volume by the close location in the high-low range (money flow multiplier), so they can diverge in detail.
